NAIROBI BELONGS TO ALL OF US: PS RAYMOND OMOLLO CALLS FOR UNITY AND INCLUSIVITY

Principal Secretary Dr. Raymond Omollo has called on Nairobi residents to embrace unity, inclusivity and a shared sense of national identity, emphasising that the capital city belongs to every Kenyan, regardless of their ethnic or cultural background.

Speaking during the Nairobi County Women Coordinators’ Consultative Forum, Dr. Omollo underscored that Nairobi is a city for all Kenyans, whether Luo, Kikuyu, Kalenjin, Kisii, Luhya or members of any other community.

He pointed to the women attending the forum as a reflection of the unity and diversity that define the country, noting that their collective participation demonstrated how people from different backgrounds can come together without discrimination or favouritism.

The PS further observed that Kenya’s diversity is also reflected within families, where marriages and shared family ties frequently bring together individuals from different ethnic communities. He noted that such relationships demonstrate the natural bonds that unite Kenyans beyond their cultural identities.

Dr. Omollo urged the women coordinators to take an active role in promoting cohesion and ensuring that every Kenyan living in Nairobi feels accepted, represented and recognised as an equal member of the national community.

He challenged them to champion an environment where no individual feels excluded or treated differently because of their ethnic background, reinforcing the importance of collective responsibility in building a united society.

He also encouraged the women to sustain their collaboration and continue supporting government leaders in their efforts to serve the public, stressing the importance of working together towards the common interests of Nairobi residents.

His message centred on a simple but important principle: Nairobi is not the preserve of any one community. It is a shared home for all Kenyans, and its identity should reflect the unity, diversity and aspirations of the entire nation.
